Anything based in Edinburgh would have to be at the latest mid-July, due to the festival in August taking up any venue worth thinking about. The biggest lecture it has only housed 490, but it does have the McEwan Hall where (among other things) graduation take place. Which also mean it limit dates to literally only mid-July due to graduation all week end June early July. Accommodation should be no problem given it house all the tourist for the festival. (Despite liking the idea very much) I doubt it would help financially either, looking at how much it charge even its student and parents for venue & accommodation. It loves its Informatics department, but they are world renown for AI rather than things that may be closer to what WMF does. The city does have lots of museums and a national library though. I can ask though of course. Probably can do better than just a stranger asking given some of the contacts I have, but I'll only do that if enough interest are shown.
